Chapter 156: Shi Yuke Seizes Power in the Sheng Family

Shi Yuke did not mention divorce, but instead handed him a stack of A4 paper; it was colorful, appearing to be screenshots of chat logs, some photos taken by surveillance, and various receipts.

He was confused at first, but as he took them and read on, his expression grew increasingly ugly.

Without a word, he grabbed the stack of paper and went to find Sheng Hai to settle the score.

Shi Yuke sat on the sofa, crossed her legs, and a smile of successful conspiracy flashed across her beautiful face!

Soon, the sounds of arguing and things being thrown came from upstairs. The noise grew louder and louder, and before long, Sheng Hai came down, furious, looking to settle the score with her, accusing Shi Yuke of forging evidence to frame him.

Shi Yuke remained calm and unhurried: "Fine, then let's hand these things over to the reporters, let it spread so everyone can judge whether it's a frame-up or the truth, or you can call the police; since I'm framing you, let the police take me away."

Sheng Hai eventually backed down; regardless of whether these things were true or not, they could not be allowed to spread. If they spread, the Sheng Family would truly have no reputation left at all.

But if he didn't make a scene, he could only swallow this bitter pill; between money and face, Sheng Hai ultimately chose the former.

In the end, Sheng Hai was squeezed out of the company's board of directors and retired early due to "health reasons," with Shi Yuke serving as Vice Chairperson.

Sheng Yukai's health had not yet recovered, so although he held the position of Chairman, he did not actually go to the company, and the power of the Sheng Group temporarily fell into the hands of Shi Yuke.

At first, they were all anxious, guarding against Shi Yuke messing up the company upon taking office and causing major losses.

However, after Shi Yuke took office, not only did the company operate normally, but performance did not drop and instead increased.

She went on to "negotiate" several large orders, and Sheng Yukai even began to regret letting her take over so late; if he had let his wife intervene in company affairs earlier, the results might have been even better.

Ignoring his parents' warnings, he granted the Vice Chairperson more and greater power.

……

This day, when Shi Yuke returned home from work, she saw the family of three rarely sitting together, whispering about something.

"Yuke, you're back just in time, come here." Bai Xue beckoned her.

Shi Yuke walked over: "Mom, what is it?"

Seeing Shi Yuke, Sheng Hai immediately turned and walked upstairs; he had been brooding over the incident where he was framed last time and did not want to say a single word to her.

Sheng Yukai picked up an Invitation from the coffee table and handed it to her: "Dingsheng Group is holding a cocktail party. It would be one thing if they only invited the two of us, but they also asked Mom and Dad to attend. We feel there's something fishy here, and we were just discussing it when you came back."

She knew what was going on, but didn't show it on her face, saying indifferently: "There are so many people attending the cocktail party, even if there is something fishy, what can they do at the party? Since they invited Mom and Dad, let's go together; if we don't go, they'll think we're afraid."

Shi Yuke's word in the Sheng Family might not be absolute, but her influence was much heavier than before. Since she said so, Bai Xue and Sheng Hai both went to the party.

After they arrived, they discovered that not only had they come, but Sheng Jiang and Wang Yingzhi were also there.

Bai Xue glared when she saw Wang Yingzhi: "What are you doing here?"

Wang Yingzhi had won her lawsuit last time and had gained a great deal of public support, so she was no longer afraid of her and glared back: "If you can come, why can't I?"

For the first time, Bai Xue was choked speechless by Wang Yingzhi; she turned and walked away, ignoring her.

But just because she didn't want to deal with Wang Yingzhi didn't mean Wang Yingzhi would let her off; she followed behind Bai Xue step by step, causing her quite a bit of annoyance.

Sheng Yukai wore a half-gold mask on his face, mingling among the guests. Because Sheng Family business had seen a significant improvement recently, people's attitudes toward him were much better.

This was all Shi Yuke's credit. He felt he had married a good wife and couldn't help but feel a bit smug; and when one is smug, it's easy to get carried away!

Sheng Hanyu came over.

Beside him, Shi Youxuan clung to him like a bird, the couple nodding and greeting guests with smiles.

Sheng Yukai was surprised to find that he could actually smile?

Sheng Hanyu could actually smile; to him, this was as rare as discovering Mars colliding with Earth, but he quickly explained it to himself: he could smile so brightly only because of the woman beside him.

Sheng Yukai's old habit flared up again, his eyes glued to Shi Youxuan and unable to look away.

Shi Youxuan was too beautiful, beautiful enough to make his mouth water.

However, Shi Youxuan was not like Jian Yixin from before.

Jian Yixin was gentle and weak, and wouldn't dare to make a sound even when wronged, which was why he had become increasingly unscrupulous later on.

On the surface, Shi Youxuan looked innocent and harmless, but in reality, she was a needle hidden in silk, and every needle she pricked was aimed at a vital point—one prick was enough to be fatal!

Shi Youxuan had long since noticed the malicious gaze cast from the corner; she felt disgusted being looked at by such a man, so she whispered a word in her husband's ear, then went to the other side to entertain guests, hiding where he couldn't see her.

Sheng Yukai took the initiative to approach Sheng Hanyu, showing off that he too had married a capable wife, no worse than his.

From childhood, Sheng Yukai had always wanted to compete with his older brother, but he could never win, which only made his hatred for his brother grow deeper.

But today was an exception.

Sheng Yukai showed off, but instead of being mocked, he received agreement.

Sheng Hanyu nodded: "Hmm, she is indeed quite capable, much more capable than you."

He sank his face, very unhappy.

He looked at Sheng Hanyu suspiciously several times: "What do you mean? You haven't taken a fancy to my wife, have you? I'm telling you, don't have any designs on my wife; a rabbit doesn't eat the grass by its own burrow, my wife only loves me."

Ever since his face was injured, Sheng Yukai had a strong sense of crisis, especially regarding Shi Yuke, fearing she would have a change of heart and fall for someone else.

If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have been so easily provoked by Shi Yuke to hate his father to the bone!

Sheng Hanyu glanced at him with astonishment, his face showing disgust: "Do you think everyone is the same as you and your father? Even if I were starving to death, I wouldn't eat the grass by your burrow."

"That's true."

Sheng Yukai didn't feel this was an insult; not only was he not angry, he laughed: "Big brother is keeping a beauty like a celestial being, of course your standards are high, you wouldn't look at anyone else..."

As he spoke, his eyes restlessly searched for Shi Youxuan, but he didn't find her, only to see his wife chatting and laughing with another man!

His expression changed instantly.

Shi Yuke was wearing a fire-red tight-fitting long dress today, perfectly displaying her good figure. Before leaving, Sheng Yukai had opposed her dressing like this, fearing other men would covet her.

She laughed at Sheng Yukai for being insecure, and even said that since he was going too, he could watch her himself, so what was he afraid of?

Sheng Yukai felt she made sense, so he agreed, but in such a short time, the moment he wasn't looking, this woman was already flirting with someone else.

He couldn't care about bickering with Sheng Hanyu anymore; he strode over, grabbed Shi Yuke, and pulled her behind him, splashing the red wine in his glass all over the man's face.

"What are you doing? Are you crazy?" Shi Yuke was annoyed.

She really wasn't flirting with the man; even if she were, she would flirt with someone handsome. The man in front of her was over forty, pot-bellied, and not even as tall as she was. Sheng Yukai was jealous for no reason, and this glass of red wine might have just splashed away a hundred-million-dollar deal!

Sure enough, the man was splashed with wine in public, couldn't save face, and immediately turned hostile, telling Shi Yuke that the contract they were preparing to sign was off.

Yuke chased after him to apologize, but it was no use; originally, this person had only given this business to Yuke out of respect for Shi Youxuan, and now, after the scene he had caused, he directly proposed doing business with Shi Youxuan instead, and she could not refuse.

Sheng Yukai watched helplessly as all of this happened within a few minutes, and a large business deal changed hands.

Yuke, embarrassed and furious, slapped him across the face on the spot—the mask fell off!

Revealing the clear image of a turtle on his face.
